Where to start? Bama's D would have an edge, even if slight, yes. Auburn's O with a big edge? Hardly. They averaged no more a game than Bama did. Bama had a better rushing attack, period. Ingram and Richardson as a Sophomore and Freshman, were better than Au's 2 Seniors. And just like yalls RB's, Ingram only played ONE quarter in a game and a couple of games only a half. Heck, he only played 3 quarters in the NC game if you'll recall. And still had over 400 more yards rushing than your best back had. You also want to give the receiving that Carnell had? Fine.. his total yardage was 1317 yds combined, under Ingrams rushing. Add in Ingrams receiving too and he's at 1992 yards. Yeah.. thats over 600 yards better with a one game difference. Bama clearly had a more dominant and better running game and RB's.

Passing. Ok.. yes, Campbell had 200 more yards passing and higher completion rate over the course of the season. He also had twice as many interceptions. He also did not face the top ranked defenses 2 games back to back like Bama did. Bama still dominated those defenses and opponents when we did. I'd call this position a wash. Bama had a larger edge in time of possession over their opponents, had a better defense over more games and a better running game over more games, where they could have been diluted down, but weren't. I'm not taking away from Auburn, as they 04 team was pretty dang good, but to argue that it is/was much better than Bama's this previous year is absurd. Again, Bama would be a slight favorite if they could play today.
Using logic with an Auburn fan is wasting your breath. Wink

The previous poster is correct. If a Bama fan started this post a few years ago, you'd have Aub's chanting "living in the past". The funny thing is, the Aubs are living in a past that is so void of greatness...
